What to see:

Part of the former Maryon Wilson family estate, Maryon Wilson Park is a large, hilly wooded site overlooking the Thames. Gilbert's Pit, with its visible strata of chalk and fossil material, has attracted geological interest over a century and offers a unique aspect on 55 million years of geological history. Maryon Park and Gilbert's Pit have a mix of acid grassland, with abundant mouse-ear hawkweed and a good assemblage of burrowing hymenoptera (bees and wasps), scrub of gorse and broom, and secondary woodland. Gilbert's Pit is a geological SSSI, with an excellent exposure of the Lower Tertiary Sequence. Maryon Wilson Park has interesting areas of scrub, woodland and grassland. A small stream and associated areas of wet grassland support a number of locally rare plants, including bristle club-rush and bog stichwort, both very rare in London.
